I'm not exactly saying that my Mrs orders a lot from Amazon, but we got an email today asking if we were ordering for a business as we could have VAT receipts  ::)

I think they email everyone that shite.  I hardly order anything from there, but they still pester me.  I did wonder if its because I've bought office stationary from them?

Hopeless scripts combined with piss poor acting. :)

Wife has been glued to both this week. I went up to North Yorkshire on holiday last year. I took a bullet proof vest with me but no need. Apparently Emmerdale is all lies.

I suppose all soaps bound to be shite because they are 'churned out' with a complete lack of quality content and quality actors.

Give me a good documentary any day. :y

Black vicar with a black, gay son. Transgender (girl to boy) character. Two bisexual women. An Asian family who keep adding to their number, one of whom is a murderous psychopath. A Scottish man who just appeared one week, they call him 'Mac'. A family of hillbillies who's name seems to crop up in almost every other family.
Very typical of a small Yorkshire village.

I'm waiting for everyone in the soaps to start driving electric cars. Just to make us think it's quite normal and simply everybody is doing it.

Yes.....but I never see any here in carrotcrunching land. Strange that.

I expect if the BBC made  a soap set in Lincolnshire at least 50% of the cast would be 'a variety of 'dusky'  8)

Eastern Europeans tend to be white.

This does not fit the diversity and inclusion mantra so beloved by the BBC.

Predominately white working class. The type who used to vote Labour before the Labour party became embarrassed by them voting for Brexit.

Then we have The Larkins. A remake of Darling Buds of May.
Despite being set in rural Kent in the early 50,s quite a percentage of the characters are black or Asian, which I very much doubt has much connection to the reality in that place at that time.
Conversely, last time I watched Eastenders (admittedly a couple of decades ago) the vast majority of the cast were white, which is certainly not the reality in 21st century East end of London.

Diversity and inclusion trumps reality in 2021. :)

If a black fella had ' happened along' in 1950's rural Kent then Pop Larkin would have shot him, and had him mounted him over the mantlepiece. :)

He certainly wouldn't be allowed anywhere near his daughter.
